In Holmes Beach, Florida sits the Harrington House Beachfront Bed & Breakfast. We sit on a little bit of paradise known as Anna Maria Island, where the casual elegance and intimate charm of our locale will lure your back for years to come.

All of our rooms are air conditioned and include full use of the pool and beach.
In the mornings savor a new breakfast selection each day from our collection of recipes. Relax in the living room, a gathering place where visitors become friends. All rooms have private baths, color cable TV while most have French doors leading to balconies, overlooking the pool and the Gulf of Mexico.

We are happy to provide menus, maps and information about events happening locally and tips for enjoying your stay with us.

We stayed in "Sunset" an aptly named suite from which we watched the beautiful sunset each evening while sharing a glass of wine. My family has been living and/or vacationing on Anna Maria Island for 50+ years, and this was one of the very nicest places we have stayed. The breakfasts were wonderful, and when we decided to leave early before normal breakfast hours, the chef was kind enough to prepare a special meal for us. This website would not allow me to select "Outstanding," but I would give all five categories the highest "outstanding" rating.

The rooms a clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly and have good suggestions when you ask them about places to eat and things to do in the area. There are a lot of places to eat that are within walking distance, and there's a free trolley that comes by every 20 minutes that runs by a lot of the places that are further out.
I would definitely recommend staying at Harrington House.

When you arrive at the Harrington House, your shady parking space leads to an arbor-covered entrance, and a reception room with comfortable furniture. Follow the coffee aroma to the breakfast room and on thru to the patio where shade covered umbrella tables overlook the white sandy beach.
Awaiting you are delicious breakfast specials, fresh fruits and juices, or "or you name it" prepared by well known chefs, served by friendly staff; in a quiet and tree shaded area.
Wait, there's more. Preferring a laid back environment, we chose the 4-unit Huth cottage just a
short walk from the 3-story main house. Huth includes on-site parking, a kitchen and sitting room for guests and is located on the wide beach with tall trees and sea grass providing privacy. A wonderful place to chat with friends around an outdoor table and chairs!
Think of the accommodations as a comfortable retreat where listening to the waves at night is as
relaxing as strolling on the beach. The Harrington House offers much more; the "home away from home", a gracious , old Florida ambiance; and a small community atmosphere. Check out a bike or other water equipment and in summer months enjoy the clear, sparkly tropically-tinged 90-degree water.l
It's easy to get to..... Tampa International and rent a car; if you are living in the Tampa area, best of all, it's a 50 minute drive from home.
Our visits to the Harrington House have been "no fuss", really refreshing, and totally welcoming by the best staff anywhere. BP, Safety Harbor, FL

The location here is just beautiful! Walk from your room directly to the beach and watch the waves crash. If that's too much work, just soak in the pool and relax. Read a book poolside until you doze off. Re-connect with that special person as the stress of the world melts away.
We run so much in our lives...and when we are on vacation elsewhere we cram a lot in the days. Here we unplug and let it all go.
Breakfast shows a great attention to detail. But, if you're not in the mood for the fancy pancakes, or whatever, you can ask for eggs your way. No problem! The staff here is tops...they are very friendly! The main house is charming, and all the rooms make my wife happy. We've been coming here for 15 years and will be back in August.
Hey- it's just what need for your stressful life.

This was our second stay at Harrington House and it was even better than the last stay. The bedroom is lovely, well appointed and clean. Shelves in the bathroom make it easy to store your belongings along with the closet and dresser drawers. Lots of outlets conveniently placed for charging all my electronics. Breakfast is truly special and the coffee is really good. But most of all, the beach is terrific. There are chairs and umbrellas for guest use and along the pool are high top tables with umbrellas for shade when you've had enough sun. Perfect stay-cation for us and we often send out of town guests there for a couple of days after they leave our house. Check out the cabins and apartments they are wonderful.

Our stay at the Harrington house was very nice. clean, comfortable, quiet. The beaches are beautiful clean and minimally busy. If you are lookling for a peaceful, relaxing get away I would not hesitate to recommend or stay again at the Harrington house

I have been visiting Harrington House for over 20 year and continue to find it the most restful and relaxing place I can think of to spend my vacations. The owners and staff have become like a second family over the years. The beach is right outside the breakfast room door and is an absolutely beautiful setting for the wonderful food and for long walks.
